STUDY VISA

A Study Permit isn't just a piece of paper; it's your ticket to experiencing world-class education in Canada at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). It's important to note that a study permit itself is not a visa. When your permit is approved, IRCC automatically issues a temporary resident visa (or an eTA) so you can actually board your flight and enter the country. We help you secure this permit before you pack your bags, ensuring you are cleared to study, live, and potentially work part-time in Canada. This permit not only allows students to study in Canada for temporary period, but also indicates the education institution they are attending and course of study.

Designated Learning Institution (DLI)

It is a school approved by a provincial or territorial government to host international students. International student required an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution.

All primary and secondary schools in Canada are designated learning institutions but if you plan to attend a post-secondary school, make sure it is part of DLI list.

What will happen if your institution loses its DLI status after getting the Study Permit?

International Student keep studying your program until the current permit expires, but after the expiry of study permit if student wanted to apply for further studies than the renewal of study permit must be allowed if enrolling at a designated learning institution.

How long can you stay in Canada with study permit?

A study permit is usually valid for the length of your study program, plus an extra 90 days. In these 90 days you need to leave Canada or apply to extend your stay.
